Two years on from their internationally acclaimed self-titled debut, Beastwars return with Blood Becomes Fire.
Blood Becomes Fire serves witness to the end of days, told through the eyes of a dying traveller from another time. “It is a work inspired by eternal themes”, says vocalist Matt Hyde. “It's a reflection on mortality, death and disease. Sooner or later they come for all of us and we've all screamed to the gods for answers, not that they've ever come."
Following a successful collaboration on Beastwars' debut, Blood Becomes Fire is co-produced, recorded and mixed by Dale Cotton (HDU, Die! Die! Die!), mastered by John Golden (Neurosis, Swans, Sonic Youth), and features the art of Weta Workshop's award-winning Nick Keller—whose mind-melting gatefold oil paintings depict a twisted world inspired by the aural artillery within.
